Cooking

Restaurant foods might wreck your health, especially fast foods, as they lead to life-shortening illnesses like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. On the opposite spectrum, people who cook for themselves from scratch are way more likely to eat healthier.

The more you get used to cooking at home, the higher your chances to score on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Healthy Eating Index, according to research done by the University of Washington.

The research mentions that: “home-cooked dinners are associated with better dietary guideline compliance, without a significant increase in food expenditures. In comparison, frequent eating out is linked with higher expenditure, and lower compliance.”

      Reading gardening cooking dancing meditating volunteering listening to music yoga- sorry Iโ€™m old, forgot the other too. Not that great of a list. Very run of the mill- I say add painting, woodworking, sculpture, take a stained glass class, go to a community college and sign up for something cool- crocheting, gather old t- shirts cut out favorite designs and make a quilt or take you r kids/ grandkids t shirts and do that. Build a chicken coop and get a few chickens ๐Ÿ“ hope that helps. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I’m glad the study has dancing in it. I would add Square Dancing specifically because it’s something you actively have to read and study to be proficient. Also, an evening of Square Dance is equivalent to about a 5 mile walk. It takes team work, and listening skills to say the least.

    None of my favorite activities were on the list. I build model airplanes, practice martial arts (4th degree black belt in taekwondo) and own three telescopes.

    I just adopted a stray tiger striped cat. I named her Tigger. I’ve had her a couple of weeks now and kept thinking “Boy she’s really gaining weight.” Well turns out she’s pregnant so having a pet is great hobby for me.
    Can’t wait to see how many she has!

    I would add journaling, especially if one lives alone. It’s a great way to express thoughts and emotions that might not have another outlet. It can be themed for gratitude, setting goals or anything else.
